“Limited gains in gender equality and women’s rights made over the decades are in danger of being rolled back due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” the UN Secretary-General said in April 2020, urging the governments to put women and girls at the centre  of their recovery efforts.

Ideas are the stepping stone of success and success has a ripple effect. So during pandemic when world was standing in awe and fear of this horrifying virus Mindshare decided to dedicate a special issue on Gender Empowerment. Conducting a webinar is nothing new but what is commendable is the spirit of movement. When some external force is pushing us to be holed up in our houses it is human spirit which fights back and shows a formidable courage to keep moving.  This was such endeavour which is now being converted into a special issue.

In a world of Meta and changing pattern of survival and new challenges coming in front of humanity it is more urgent than ever to pay attention to the unique problems that are created by  these new challenges e.g. inequality ,gender pay gap, gender  violence, human trafficking ,Sexual abuse, etc.
